⫯ cafeteria

@✧ hsu yueh han「ᴊᴏʜɴ ʜsᴜ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ as daneyla approached the cafeteria table with eager anticipation, she was completely oblivious to the wobbling tray of drinks in her hand. disaster struck before she could react, and her drink spilled all over the person sitting at the table. "oh no!" she gasped, her face quickly turning a deep shade of red as she realized what had just happened. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to—"

her voice trailed off as she looked up and finally recognized the person she had drenched. it was none other than yueh han, the famous chinese actor she had admired for years. her embarrassment reached new heights as she stammered, "y-yueh han? I...I can't believe I just spilled my drink on you! I'm a huge fan, and I didn't even recognize you at first!" quickly grabbing some napkins, daneyla began to hurriedly mop up the mess, her mind racing with thoughts of how to make amends. "I'm really sorry, mr. han. can I make it up to you somehow? maybe buy you a new drink or...anything?"

@✧ daneyla choi「ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ yueh han was in the building to get his first fitting done for the next movie he was to star in. for convenience's sake, he decided to eat in the cafeteria. back when he first came to korea, he had stayed in the dorms for a short while before he found a place and moved out. during those days, he had always visited the cafeteria.

since korean wasn't his first language, eating outside used to be a challenge to him. unlike elsewhere, most of the workers at the cafeteria were very forgiving of his broken korean. the food was good, and the friendly workers had him going back again and again.

he smiled at a few passing people before he reached the counter, greeting the workers happily. he then ordered some food and sat at a table by himself to wait.

@✦ jeon jiho ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ sungji gave the male a quick nod with a straight face, then blinks when he suddenly left in a hurry. she sighed to herself that she could have made a friend, but her coldness scared the hell out of the stranger. 'damn it...' she thought to herself as she eats silently until she finished her food. at the same time, sungji assume maybe the male lost his appetite that he's in a real tight schedule that he needs to attend to. 'oh well...i probably need to work on fixing my coldness..maybe that would help me make friends a little better..hopefully he'll come around if he ever comes back..'

@✧ kang sungji ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ hearing those cold remarks, jiho realized that it wasn't her – well, that was obvious. but his heart was still stunned by her appearance; they looked too much alike. jiho cleared his throat and nodded his head, saying, "I'm sorry..." as he found another seat, not too far from her. It was better not to sit too close because it wasn't good for his heart and mind. jiho had already lost his appetite. he stole quick glances at her features again, but somehow, his gaze remained fixated on her. his face was filled with longing for his first love, who had passed away many years ago.

jiho's emotions were in turmoil as he couldn't help but be drawn to the striking resemblance between this woman and his long-lost love. the mix of sorrow, nostalgia, and desire overwhelmed him, making it hard to concentrate on anything else.

@✦ jeon jiho ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ sungji walked in the cafeteria moments later after some paper work in the office. truth to be told, she is one of the new managers in sunrise entertainment since the company is slowly getting some new staff people. once she got her food, she look around in the area to look for a seat until a she found one at the corner. she went straight there, unaware of some male staring at her as if he saw a ghost. as she begins to sit there, the male approach her with food tray on him as well, asking her if the seat across from her was taken. "no, you can sit there." sungji said in a slight cold tone before she proceed to eat her food in peace without her new seat mate bothering unless the questions being given by him are important. 'is he scared of me or something?' she muttered to herself since her coldness usually to push any strangers around her away and don't give a damn about it. on the inside, she has a soft side for her mother and colleagues at the company to keep her happy even if it's annoyance.

@✧ kang sungji ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ jiho decided to take a detour to the cafeteria to grab a quick bite before his important meeting. as he approached the cafeteria, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu wash over him. the dimly lit room was filled with people chatting, but one figure in particular caught his eye. a woman, her back turned to him, was hunched over a tray of food. jiho's heart raced as he approached her cautiously. when she turned around to look for a seat, he was struck with disbelief. the woman before him bore an uncanny resemblance to his first love, sarang. a flood of memories overwhelmed him, memories he had thought were buried with her.

unable to control his emotions, he whispered, "sarang," under his breath, his voice barely audible over the cafeteria's din. he fought the urge to pull her into a tight embrace, unsure if what he was seeing was a cruel trick of fate or something far more inexplicable. he slowly approaching her and gestures to the seat next to her. "I'm sorry , is this seat taken?" asked him, slightly trembles.
